This was one of my favorite books as a child, and one that I credit (no lie) with making me love reading as much as I do. One of my best childhood memories i my mother reading this to me, and barely being able to get through the book because I was laughing so hard.
It is a very sweet and hysterical little story about facing your fears, and I love love love love it.
I am, however, a little embarrassed to admit that I checked it out from the library yesterday and read it aloud to my husband on the way home.
Oh, and while I was checking it out, I asked my husband "And do you know who the monster at the end of the book is?!" His response was "You?"
Thanks honey. For the record, it's Grover. Duh. My librarian, the one who knows my name, thought it was the funniest thing she'd ever heard and then told me I need to work at the library because she loves me. If only, if only, I say.
It's not a total loss, though, because he DID laugh when I read it to him. More at me than the book, I think.
